Hmm... since Sunday, the weather forecast has been forecasting good weather the next day followed by days of torrential rain here in ClientOrgCity.

Then the next day has been fine, and the forecast promises exactly the same: that the subsequent day will be better than previously forecast, but after that torrential rain will come.

It's now Thursday, and apparently there will be "Sunny Intervals" (with no suggestion of rain in the "Unsunny Interstices") but torrential rain will finally arrive on Friday.

There was a shower this afternoon. Either that, or somebody had been watering ClientOrg's car park in the hope it would bring forth green shoots.

Whatever. If I owned an umbrella, I would now be glad that I'd forgotten to bring it.

More importantly, I've been reminded of why it's probably best not bothering to own an umbrella: if it rains when you don't have it with you, then you get annoyed with yourself for not bringing it, even though there are probably lots of much more important things you could be getting annoyed with yourself over; but if you bring it and it doesn't rain, then you just have another thing to cart about that you don't need, and you probably leave it somewhere, and have to go back and ask if it's been handed in.

I just get wet. It's only rain, and it soon dries off when one gets indoors

That's it. I'm off for a shower.

All clean now!

well done BI on getting 10k tpd posts

And getting into 6th place

Blimey. It looks like I got some serious posting done over the last couple of days.

Just cooking up some pork rind (aka "The Morrisons Pork Scratchings Kit"). Four massive pieces for 60p - can't go far wrong with that.

I trust you had some spuds in the baking tray with that?

Plan A

I know what you mean, but this is definitely Plan B.

Plan A formed when she did work experience at school. She made a decision what to do with her life. Picked a professional career that meant job security and all that. As a consequence she went to college, the university, then work, then back to university then more work.

Then it stopped working for her. So she stopped doing it and had to find something else to do instead.

It wasn't a case of just doing some job and thinking "I really must decide what to do with my life" and suddenly having an epiphany. Then I see what you mean, having to do a naff job while you set up your dream environment.

Mrs BI would rather have been doing Plan A. And, can still go back to it, if circumstances demand it.

Does that make any sense?

I would just like it to be noted that, if some quantum effect causes us to shift into a parallel universe where I get to produce porn films, I claim prior rights over the idea of one set in a kebab shop, entitled Debbie Does Donners (or possibly or or )

Seen it. It was rubbish.

The prequel, Sheila Does Shish, now that was another matter. Blimey! Phew! What a film.

(I saw the early subtitled version as they hadn't got round to making a dubbed version; it was originally recorded in Strine.)

[BrowneIssue]

Hey, voodooflux, look: kebab porn.

Morning all

[BrowneIssue]

that kebab shops twenty yards apart have different spellings for "Donner"

It's a religion thing, depending upon which minor God of the Meat Pole they adhere to.

I know some teachings say that a circular pole is right; others insist on a square pole.

There were running battles in the streets of Southgate back in the 1980s from displaced Turks arguing over the correct method of worship for Meat on a Pole. Don't you remember?

Anyway, when it was all settled, they decided to just have separate temples for each of the different sects.

Hence you can find - in a particularly cosmopolitan area - an entire street of kebab shops, each of which strictly adheres to the methods of their own lesser division of Poled Meat provision.

It is a very open philosophy; as is clear they do not mind others going and worshipping in their kebab temples. But amongst themselves they use tiny signals to denote to which sect they belong, such is tiny spelling differences.

HTH

Ooh, I'm craving some fatty, chewy meat-base product now.

A street market sausage in a roll (with onions and sos coch) would not go amiss right now.
